The Chargé in Liberia ( Wharton ) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 23—8:25 p.m.]
51. Referring to your telegram No. 22, July 18, 5 p.m., and 26, July 24. Dr. Allen Moore Walcott of Rockefeller Commission of Lagos arrived here 12th instant for a survey of two or three weeks. No action has been taken Department’s telegram No. 34, September 18 [17], 10 a.m. [6 p.m.]
He leaves me with impression that he will recommend to the Liberian Government the appointment of a sanitary engineer who is United States public health officer, bachelor in active condition, able to travel on foot. He is reluctant to commit himself at this time, as here at the invitation of the Liberian Government to make survey and recommendations.
